West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta took to social media fired back at ex-Hammer Rob Green following his red card in their 2-0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool on Sunday (November 30).

The 28-year-old picked up two yellow cards in the span of a minute as he continued to protest his initial booking, which was for dissent.

It was a completely self-inflicted sending off for a player who was recently acquitted of spot fixing by the FA, with commentator Green calling it ‘ridiculous behaviour.’

Paqueta took to X, formally known as Twitter, after the game to fire back at Green, saying: "It's ridiculous to have your life and career affected for two years without any psychological support from the federation (The FA). 

“Perhaps this ridiculous behavior is just a reflection of everything I've had to endure and, it seems, have to continue enduring! I'm sorry if I'm not perfect."
